The Overview
As I was flying out of Dallas last week, God gave me a download on the six steps needed for someone to move into the office of personhood. Since then, I have been busier than a plywood salesman before a hurricane, but now find myself flying back to Dallas with some time to build out the seminal ideas.
My basic hypothesis at this point is:
-There is a right model that happens quite casually through the normal events of life for most people.
-That model can be broken, leaving us without the office.
-When we are not in the appropriate office, we will not thrive in some areas.
-When we are not in the office, we will seek compensations, many of which are unwholesome.
Ultimately, however, God puts in front of us the experiences we need so we can grow to the place where He will place us in the office we missed the first time around. Our goal is to hit the balls He so patiently keeps pitching us.
The Original Plan
Personhood is, I think, supposed to be developed in the womb first through an intimate connection with the mother where the two are one.
Originally, the spirit and God were one. As God crafted the spirit out of the light that He is, there was definitely some degree of "otherness" but broadly the two were of one essence. There was also a huge degree of togetherness. The dignity the human spirit had came from the essence of God and the joy Father had in the existence of this spirit which was a part of His nature and the product of His creative brilliance.
In an ideal situation, it is a fairly small step from the two being one in heaven, to the two being one in the womb. Again, there is shared essence of bodies and great joy on the part of the mother that she could share her essence with the child.
The Plan Gone Wrong
When a child is rejected in the womb, this can be an attack on their personhood. I think a lot depends on the cause and the intensity of the rejection. When a child is a surprise and the parents do an attitude adjustment in a few weeks, I don't think there is massive trauma.
But when the mother vehemently did not want to be pregnant and maintains the posture of the baby being a hostile invasion of her life, deep damage is done. There is nothing the baby in the womb can do to redeem himself or herself. No noble achievement will offset the fact that the baby is "wrong" for simply existing and that the mother's deepest wish is for non-existence to occur. No partial fixes exist for the child. They are simply awful for having committed the involuntary crime of existing.
When the two are not one in the womb, and the two are actively toxic to each other (or there is the perception of that), personhood is stripped from Father's masterpiece before birth.
There are two other situations that lend themselves heavily toward the loss of personhood. One is being born into slavery and the other is being born into a home situation where there is some other highly needy person, and the baby's only identity is relative to the needy person.
Initially this means the baby has to be silent so as not to disturb the parent, the special needs sibling or whoever is in need. Ultimately it means the child becomes a quasi-slave of the needy person whose life defines the family's cadence.
Consequences and Compensations
When an individual is robbed of the office of personhood in the womb, they are much more prone to exploitation and victimization as adults. While anyone can be victimized, the non-person is most likely to be used with impunity because of their need for acceptance which generally causes them to be quite compliant in their endless, futile pursuit of personhood through service.
There are some predictable compensations we see in individuals who are not in the office of personhood. There seems to be a crude attempt to re-establish the "two who are one" dynamic which was missed in the womb.
-A fantasy life is the most common compensation. For some, they indulge in a heavy immersion in fiction, either written or video, in order to escape the loneliness of being a non-person. For others, they put themselves in the stories, envisioning themselves as the perfect sidekick to their hero.
-A variation on this is a real time hero worship where the individual dresses, acts or talks like their designated role model. While this behavior is quite common among teens and can be non-toxic, there is a toxic edge to it when the non-person is trying to establish their missing oneness with some other adult who often is not welcoming of the attention. This can develop into a form of emotional or spiritual stalking.
-Serial mentors is another variation that is not so obvious. The non-person finds a skill of some sort that interests them and seeks to be mentored by the best person in that field. Their intense pursuit of excellence in the new field causes them to be brought into the inner circle of the master for a while. Soon however, this proves non satisfactory to both parties and they drop that hobby and pursue another one in a few months.
-The previous two dynamics can combine into a person becoming a conference groupie. Even though they don't have personal contact with the "mentor" they are vacuuming up everything he or she says and does, seeking to learn the other person's world so as to become a part of it somehow, even if only in their imagination.
-I wonder if sex fits in here. Are a lot of the guys who are addicted to pornography being driven by their lack of oneness in the womb to seek a connection with the mother figure through their messy connection with random females? I don't know, but I wonder. I am sure this is not the only drive behind pornography, but I wonder if it factors in with some guys.
Eventually, in order to be restored to the office of person, the non-person needs to experience deep intimacy where the two are one. I am sure that this plays into some inappropriate sexual relationships. The non-person is seeking the deep emotional bond that will validate their personhood, while their partner often is simply using them as an object, thereby making the wound deeper.
So what does healing look like?
Remember, this is only one of six components that I think need to be in place for the personhood to be restored. My sense is that they can come in any particular order.
I have seen healing, joyous intimacy happen on both the emotional and spiritual level.
An Emotional Connection
I watched one woman struggle with lack of personhood in the religious sector. She was involved in a series of different organizations, with both high structure and low structure groups.
She had high utilitarian value to the groups initially and was placed in positions where she could contribute. Very soon, however, she became first invisible, then under-resourced and eventually was shunned and made into a scapegoat for various pieces of nonsense before she was discarded like a used napkin.
God took her through a variety of healing situations but the graduation party consisted of a very significant spiritual ministry that she did with another woman. The task God assigned her was complex, one of a kind, involving a lot of travel with ever changing circumstances.
This is the kind of situation that so often in the past would turn into either her being the designated "grunt" doing all the dirty work or her being run over by some other personality on the team.
In this case, the other lady was able to synchronize with her magnificently during all of the ups and downs of the trip. While my friend was definitely the leader in the sense that God gave her this assignment, her partner walked with her as an equal. They each heard from God in different ways at different times, contributing to the whole process as God had equipped each of them.
Beyond the successful trip, there was fun, honor and mutual life giving. Neither was needy, yet each gave to the other in appropriate ways. The two were one at a level that my friend had never experience before. I think it mattered a lot that the other person was a woman, since it was clearly her mother who had not bonded with her in the womb.
The evidence that she entered the office of personhood after that assignment is that people in leadership in the community began to treat her differently. She was seen as part of the community and good people did good things for her when there were potential problems.
In the past, when bad things happened and she asked for the kind of help everyone is entitled to (police protection, insurance payoffs, contractors to do work), she was treated as a nuisance who was invading people's lives. Now significant players in her secular world are reaching out to her PROACTIVELY to be life giving to her in areas she has not requested.
This is solid, sustained evidence of her walking in the office of person for the first time in her life.
A Spiritual Connection
The other person went on a spiritual pilgrimage. God did three things. First he stripped her of most of her community. Second, He stripped her of some of her most vital core resources. Then He gave her an impossible task to do – with nothing to do it with!!!
In the journey that followed, she was extremely vulnerable. Many times she did not know if she could do life, never mind execute the project. Through it all, God micromanaged the project. "Do this. Do that. Don't do anything for weeks. Now do a double portion today when you are at your worst."
The intimacy she experienced as He did miracle after miracle through her, to enable her to do her assignment was a classic picture of the two being one. Even though she had to "do" the assignment, it was His hand over her hand every time she did it. It was His words coming out of her mind.
She is no stranger to intimacy with Christ: public worship, private worship, ministry times, warfare, intercession, miracles and sundry other forms of contact with God were all familiar to her. But the oneness she experienced during this long process was unprecedented.
When the assignment was finished, she discovered that in the business sector of her life, things changed. She had struggled to hold her own in business over the years. Ordinary things like getting insurance or paying taxes or calling the landlord had often been high drama events. Her requests were ignored, twisted or made to seem highly unreasonable.
Now two business people are competing for her business with great personal attention, not just good pricing. The company she opted to use has gone out of their way to treat her with uncommon respect and to show deep commitment to keeping the relationship for the long term.
What Do YOU Do?
These are two very fresh pictures of people who have had a "graduation exercise" and are now treated differently by some sectors of the community. Not everything has changed for them, but enough has changed to be significant.
While the two being one is the first point of establishing personhood in the normal sequence, it was the final step in these two situations. We have not been exploring this long enough to say whether this step can fit anywhere in the sequence.
I am, however, pretty confident that there has to be some deep shared experience, where both parties are freely and extensively life giving to each other, and there is joy in both parties over simply being together. Clearly it can happen between two people or between a person and God.
This last point is quite important to me. When someone has not been a "person" for a long time, they tend to be quite isolated in the community. So much of the current teaching on healing protocols begins with instructions on how to leverage your community for better healing, and when a person has no community to leverage, that really mocks their woundedness and leaves them feeling helpless.
God is certainly capable of crafting a situation where you and He experience life together in a mutually life giving, highly enjoyable context.
So what?
If you are one of those who recognized that you were deprived of personhood in the womb and have consequently had primarily utilitarian value ever since, what do you do to go forward?
First of all, remember that this article is simply one of six steps God showed me. I think most people have to deal with each of those six items before making the transition, although I can't say that for sure. Stand by for the rest of the series as I have time to write.
Then remember that we "deal with" those six action items by stepping into circumstances that God has created for us. By definition the circumstances will seem less than desirable, but if you can differentiate between the events the devil has designed to slam you some more and the ones God has designed to heal you, then you can step up with some level of confidence.
For this exercise, the components seem to be a task that is too big to be real, the inability to execute the task precisely because of your issues, and the exquisite partnership with either God or another person as you do the task anyway.
And remember that the task might be a week long, like with the first person, or months long, like with the second person.

Beijing - Dirty, Crowded and Awesome
I spent the last ten days in Beijing visiting our internship program. The purpose of my trip was to check-in with the students, meet all of the people that make the program possible (Jim James, Lili, Elliot, and others), and get the feel of the program that I've talked about with so many interested students.
When I started my position as internship director last summer, one of the first students I met was Wyatt Bruton. He came by my office soon after his return from Beijing and he was just so excited. All the exclamation marks I received in emails over the summer were nothing compared to talking with him in person. To be honest, I had been a little skeptical of this program at first. How could Wyatt love a city that was so heavy with smog? Just the thought of the subway made me anxious with claustrophobia. But as Wyatt talked about his internship, the lifelong friendships he made with his Chinese roommates, and the migrant village where he spent much of his time, I started to believe that maybe our Beijing program really changed students' lives afterall.
During my time in Beijing I was able to spend so much time with our students - we shared many meals, went on adventures, even played some intense games of basketball (I'm still recovering). The group has bonded in a beautiful way and it was fun to be a part of it for a moment.
During my time in the city, I visited the student's internships and learned so much about the incredible places they are spending their summer - from IT services to healthcare to start-up juice and tshirt companies (more on this), to non-profits and PR agencies - each internships is a great match for the students' interests. Perhaps my favorite internship story is about Cramer. When I sent Cramer the internship placement that Jim James (our coordinator in Beijing) had assigned him back in April, he wrote back skeptically "Elizabeth - I'm really excited about China and sure everything will be fine, but can you please explain what I will be doing in 'juice retail'." I wrote back something like "Oh Cramer, Jim James does an excellent job placing each student and I'm sure it's a cool company and you'll be exposed to many aspects of the business. Don't worry!" I later learned that on Cramer's first day at work, he spent many, many hours chopping fruit wearing his button-up and tie. I can't help but laugh imagining Cramer. As it turned out, however, he now claims that the experience has been crucial to his internship - helping him understand the business in a way he couldn't do without chopping fruit. The Entrepreneur that started iF Juice, Flo Eysler, requires all of his sales representatives to spend one day a month on the production side of the business. He wants everyone with iF to understand the ins and outs, especially Cramer.
At each internship I stayed long enough to learn about the companies and the projects our students are working on and of course embarass each of them by taking their picture (see below!).

Well I went to the big Hobbycrafts and Sewing for pleasure show at the NEC yesterday and as you can image the place was packed and there was a lot of shoving and bumping into people but there was also a lot of buying :) One thing that me and my friend noticed was how much decoupage there was. On almost every stall decoupage was the main feature, which is great if you like it but although I do make the odd decoupage card, I can't say it is one of my favourite techniques because I don't like all the cutting out and the sticky foam pads!
I did manage to buy a few bits and pieces. Imparticular I got some of the nice new Daisy and Dandelion stamps which I have just been playing with. They are so cute.
Here are some pictures of what I brought. Miraculously I stuck to my budget. Now there's a first!! ;)

I received an anonymous letter in the mail from one of my readers in response to an article I had written. She was concerned that nothing was being done about some of the injustices in nursing. At first I felt bad that for whatever reason my article didn't benefit her. I know not everyone is going to resonate with my message, but my goal is to learn whatever I can from any negative comments. There are so many injustices in nursing and just to note a few: If a nurse takes controlled … [Read more...]
Injustices In Nursing
Are You Working In Faith Or Fear?
When we were living in caves thousands of years ago, there was a real fear of becoming an animal's main dinner entrée. When faced with that possibility, the fight or flight response kicked in. But today, while we can feel safe in our homes, we still can push the so-called panic button for any fear response any time we want. I call "fear" false evidence appearing real because there is relatively little to fear in our lives today. But most of us are pushing the panic button all the time … [Read more...]
Nurses Use Of Controlled Substances
What is the first thing that a physician orders when you work night shift and have trouble sleeping during the day? The physician orders Ambien! Maybe you've been working long hours; walking the hard floors of a hospital and it's taking a toll on your back and other joints. If you have pain, which cannot be controlled by non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, the physician prescribes hydrocodone! Now, if you were then asked to take a drug screen, the hospitals are usually okay with positive … [Read more...]
NLP For Nurses
"I care about myself. I am a great nurse! My services are needed." You probably say that yourself every day, right? You don't? Well, you should according to Briana Binion who is a neurolinguistic programming (NLP) practitioner. I had the pleasure of interviewing Briana to tell me about this interesting program. NLP is "the number one technology" says Briana, and it is the study of the mind; what we do and why we do what it is that we do. She says it's the best way for successful … [Read more...]
The Downside Of Electronic Medical Records Documentation
The electronic health records are here to stay. You may love it because they save time or you may dislike it. Regardless of your opinion, we have no choice about it. The government now requires that healthcare providers adopt and demonstrate "meaningful use" of electronic health records to remain eligible for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements. "If it is not documented, it is not done." So, with that in mind, here are some tips to help you with these procedural changes: Always use … [Read more...]
Can't We All Get Along?
It seems that the theme for nurses this week is how do we resolve problems. Many of us approach problems from a reactive stance, that is, we tend to respond by getting upset, angry and feel indignant that this is happening. Stepping back from the situation, we can get clear on what is really going on and what it is that we want to create. If animosity and defensiveness is what you seek, you will respond from a reactive posture. However, if you want to create goodwill in reaching a win-win … [Read more...]
Is The Writing On The Wall?
Many nurses stay in their job because of their comfort zone. They are comfortable with where they work, the policies and procedures, the staff, the routine, etc. But things may not be clicking just right. Maybe you're getting write-ups here and there and talked to frequently. Perhaps you may not fit in with the other staff and all these other little signs. Meanwhile, parts of your body are talking to you. Your gut is screaming, "This isn't quite right!" and coercing you to "Leave it!" … [Read more...]
Shifting Your Thinking To Abundance In Nursing
Frequently I hear nurses saying that we don't have enough staff to take care of the patients. The patients are too sick. We have too many patients. There are not enough supplies to care for the patients and we don't have enough time to do everything we need to care for the patients. These conversations are based in scarcity and lack. There are 3 myths about abundance. The first is that abundance is for others and not for me. Let's understand that abundance is our birthright. The … [Read more...]

Very recently, I had major eye sugery and my doctor prescribed me some
pretty potent pain medications to assist me in the recovery process. This
experience reminded me again of the hazards/perils of prescription pain
medications and driving as well as how often the public doesn't
associate prescriptions with DUI's. Over the years, I have represented
many people for
prescription drug DUI's including oxycontin, ambien, zanax, percocet and even some
anti-depressants. Although, I managed to negate the DUI charges (obtain
a reduced charge or dismissal) in every case, it still was a very costly
and traumatic experience for the ones involved.
Remember, a valid prescription is
not necessarily a Defense to DUI in Washington State.

Sex 'n' drugs 'n' Strictly: Jo Wood on debauchery with Ronnie and Keith, being locked up for opium trafficking and the terror of the tango with Brendan Cole
- Ronnie Wood's ex-wife Jo lifts the lid on their relationship in biography
- Rock n' roll pair met 35 years ago, married in 1985 and divorced in 2009
- In part two, Jo speaks of drug fuelled antics in Paris, tours on cocaine and the nightmare family holiday when she was jailed for opium smuggling
We 'ave a Monsieur Wood down 'ere asking for you. Shall I send 'im up?' Oui, oui, oui! It was 6am and I was naked in my Paris hotel room.
I looked a right state after a sleepless night but only had time to give my hair a quick brush and grab a sarong and tie it around me like a dress when there was a tap at the door. I opened it and there was Ronnie. I flew into his arms.
It was the autumn of 1977, the Stones were due to spend the next few weeks recording here – and this was our first trip abroad.
Rock 'n roll debauchery: Jo and Ronnie, pictured in 1990, spent much of autumn 1977 taking drugs in a Paris hotelroom with Keith Richards
Someone shoved past us into the room. Without saying a word or even looking at me, this dark-haired bloke sat down on the carpet and started rummaging in what looked like a doctor's bag.
'Don't take any notice of Keith,' said Ronnie. 'It's been a long flight.'
Keith took out a silver spoon, a bottle of pills and a lighter. In a matter of seconds, he'd crushed some of the pills with water, cooked them up, then filled a syringe and stabbed it straight through his shirt. A moment's pause – then he looked up at me with a radiant smile. 'Hello, my dear. I've heard so much about you!'
The three of us spent the next three days cooped up in my broom-cupboard of a hotel room, drinking and taking drugs, only occasionally venturing out in Keith's Bentley to get a fix or to eat.
Food was not a priority. We'd go to fabulously posh restaurants such as La Coupole or Fouquet's and push sole meunière around the plate. If we needed to sleep, Ronnie and I squeezed into the single bed and Keith slumped in the armchair, although sleeping wasn't much of a concern either.
Frills and spills: Keith Richards, Jo and Ronnie in 1992 during the Rolling Stones' traditional end-of-tour party for the crew where the band would spent the night waiting on them
I adored Keith from the start, which was lucky because he and Ronnie came as a pair. Keith and I have a special relationship to this day. One of the first things I loved about him most was his naughtiness.
The three of us were dining in Fouquet's one night; Keith loved the place, which I always found funny because he's such a rocker and Fouquet's is somewhere you'd take your great-grandma: all white-coated waiters and starched linen napkins. Anyway, this old boy sitting a few tables from us kept looking at Keith and, after dinner, he came up to our table and said: 'Monsieur Richards, may I please have your autograph?'
We'd already noticed him – it was difficult not to, as he had a very large brown growth on his head. Keith took his piece of paper and wrote with a flourish: 'Where did you get that hat? Keith Richards.'
I was so shocked. 'Keith, you can't write that!'
'I just have, darling.'
As much as I loved hanging out with Keith, I only had eyes for Ronnie. I was besotted with the guy and longing to have some time alone with him. We were lying cuddled up in bed together in the early hours one morning when I whispered to him: 'Don't you think this is all a bit, well, cramped?'
I thought Keith was asleep, but no. 'Quite right, Jo!' I heard from the foot of the bed. 'Why don't we move to my apartment?'
'What was that, Keith? You have a flat in Paris?' So why the Hell had we been squashed up in there?
I got my answer later that day when we'd checked out of L'Hôtel and arrived at Keith's place. It was on an upper floor of one of those elegant old buildings, fringed with little balconies, just behind the Tuileries Garden. Inside, however, it was a pit. Dishes piled up in the sink. A white plastic couch, torn and filthy, like something you'd find poking out of a tip.
Rock royalty: Jo and Ronnie host a party in their Los Angeles home in 1978
His desk – Keith always has to have a huge desk, wherever he lives – was covered with papers and ashtrays. But at least there was a bedroom with a double bed, which Keith kindly said we could take. I turned over the sheets and Ronnie and I scrambled out of our clothes. Giddy with lust, we jumped on to the bed – and it collapsed beneath us with an almighty crash.
Keith appeared at the door to find us sprawled half-naked on the floor. 'Are you all right down there?'
I was madly in love: with Paris, with fun and most of all with Ronnie. We were spending almost every waking hour with each other. He was never one for grand declarations of love but he showed it in other ways. One day he presented me with a gorgeous Yves St Laurent scarf decorated with butterflies and when he sat and played the guitar or took out his pencils to sketch me, there was such passion in his creativity it left me breathless. Plus, of course, we were at it like rabbits . . .
Later, I took Ronnie home to the Old Vicarage. I knew my parents were concerned that their daughter was shacked up with one of the very same 'disgusting lads' that Dad had banned from our TV years earlier.
But Ronnie was on his best behaviour and we had a wonderful week. It felt as if my life was coming together – and indeed it was, for three wonderful decades.
The 1981 Tattoo You tour of the States had been particularly insane. Fuelled by coke and a virtual pharmacy of pills, we'd stayed up for days at a time, drinking and joking and having such a laugh. My motto was: 'If it isn't fun, it isn't worth doing.'
We'd been so out of control that, when the time came for the boys to hit the road again (not until 1989: Mick and Keith fell out over Mick releasing his solo album), Mick had decided that we had to start being more professional. 'Ronnie needs a PA,' he'd said. 'You're with him on tour the whole time, Jo. You've got the job.'
'You mean I get paid for going on tour? Oh, yeah!'
'Yes, but you have to do your job properly,' said Mick, pointedly. 'No being late with the packing.'
Danger tango: Jo and dance partner Brendan Cole on Strictly Come Dancing in 2009
It was a scorching late-summer day in 2009 when I made my way to BBC Television Centre for the first day of filming on Strictly Come Dancing.
It would be the first time we contestants would be introduced to our professional partners. I sat there sweltering thinking, Please, please, don't let it be that guy, Brendan Cole.
I'd barely watched the show, but I'd heard enough about his reputation – that he was a slave driver with a terrible temper.
After a few anxious minutes a camera crew came in to capture my reaction, and then the door opened and in walked . . . 'Oh, hi, Brendan!'
Little did I know what a good friend he would become.
Our first solo dance was the tango. The producers had wanted us to perform to a Rolling Stones track but I said no way – I wanted to leave all that behind – so we settled on David Bowie's Let's Dance.
I couldn't get the hang of it at all. I was unprepared for how close the tango requires you to be to your partner.
I've never been a touchy-feely person, so to be pulled up hard against Brendan's body while his leg slid between mine was something I initially found very uncomfortable.
'Jo,' he said softly. 'Look at me.' I glanced up to find his eyes staring into mine. Then, without warning, he pulled me to him with such force that I gasped. I was aware of the warmth of his skin. I just hoped he couldn't feel my heart, which was now galloping.
'Is my tummy supposed to be touching yours?' I asked.
'Yes, Jo,' he said.
'Are . . . are my boobs meant to be pressed against your chest?'
'Yes, Jo. That's one of the perks of my job.'
I would find myself pulling away, but Brendan would just pull me straight back in.
I can understand why so many Strictly celebrities have an affair with their dance partner. If I'd been 20 years younger and Brendan had been single . . . well, you can easily imagine it happening.
On our series alone, the boxer Joe Calzaghe got together with his partner Kristina Rihanoff and actress Ali Bastian with Brian Fortuna – and those were just the ones we found out about!
I squirmed. During the Tattoo You tour, we had fallen asleep following a three-day party. Security had burst into our hotel room just moments before we were due to leave for a gig, to find the place trashed, with Ronnie and me passed out in the middle of it. That night, the boys were three hours late and the audience were going wild by the time they made it on stage.
'Don't worry, Mick,' I said. 'You can trust me.'
From then on, I was on the payroll and was never late with the packing again.
With the rock 'n' roll world came the drugs. I eventually learned my lesson, it's true, but not before some hair-raising encounters with the forces of justice.
After Tattoo You, we were in desperate need of a family holiday. So, together with our American nanny Jaye, we boarded a plane to St Maarten, a little jewel of a Caribbean island divided into French and Dutch territories. For the first few days, we played with the kids in the warm water and built sandcastles.
But a few days later we were settling in for a quiet evening when some new 'friends' we'd met on the island landed on our doorstep with a couple of giggling girls. 'Hi, guys,' they said. 'We've come to party!'
We spent all night smoking joints, doing lines and getting through bottles of rum, while Ronnie played the guitar until they left.It must have been late morning when I heard a banging at the door and glanced out of the window to see the place was crawling with men. Still being drunk and high, it took me a few moments to realise that it was the police.
'We have a warrant to search the premises,' came a voice. 'You have to come with us to the police station.'
Parents on the lash: Jo with Ronnie and daughter Leah in 1983, two years after they were arrested accused of smuggling drugs on a family holiday
I was escorted across a dingy courtyard and into a tiny square stonewalled cell, empty but for a bucket and a raised concrete bench. The walls were covered with stains and the stench of sewage was overwhelming. By now, the drugs and booze had worn off and I was seriously worried. Nobody would tell me why we were being held and I had no idea what had happened to Ronnie, who was in a separate cell.
I woke early the next morning when a guard stuck a salami roll through the bars, with an official-looking document. It was written mostly in Dutch, but the few words I could work out left me numb with terror: 'Trafficking in opium.'
They thought we were drug traffickers. I was going to be in jail for the rest of my life! And then another, even more horrific, thought hit me: Did they have the death penalty in St Maarten?
When the guard returned he took me to a different part of the prison. He led me to an open yard the size of a basketball court that was crammed with men. It was like something out of a movie: dozens of guys exercising, sitting at tables playing cards, just hanging out. Every pair of eyes flicked in my direction. I was the only female there.
I felt far from reassured as he led me through the crowds to a little open-barred cell in the corner of the yard, containing a canvas bed and a toilet. As he slid the heavy lock across and padlocked it in place, I sat down on the bed and tried very hard not to cry.
My fears worsened as I talked to the other guys through the bars. One of them had been imprisoned for eight months for having two joints on him; another had been there for almost a year after he was arrested with just half an ounce of grass.
Fortunately, while we were languishing in what I christened the St Maarten's holiday camp, everyone in the outside world was going mad trying to get us released. It turned out that our two party guests really were drug smugglers and when, in the course of the evening, we let them use our hire car, they were seen stashing a huge bag of cocaine in the branches of a tree.
On the morning of day six I was ushered into a courtroom in front of a judge. He read out a long statement and told me that I was very irresponsible because I had a young family and should know better.
'May this experience be a lesson to you not to get involved with drugs in the future,' he said, gravely. 'I am not going to charge you, but you must leave this country immediately.'

DSHS Urges Precautions as West Nile Season Nears
The Texas Department of State Health Services advises the public to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites that may lead to West Nile illness. As we enter the warmer months, the risk of exposure to virus-carrying mosquitoes increases.
The intensity of West Nile activity in Texas fluctuates from year to year and depends on a variety of factors including the weather, the numbers of birds and mosquitoes that maintain and spread the virus, and human behavior. The season can last until the first hard freeze of the year.
To reduce exposure to West Nile virus people should:
Symptoms of the milder form of illness, West Nile fever, can include headache, fever, muscle and joint aches, nausea and fatigue. People with West Nile fever typically recover on their own, although symptoms may last for several weeks. Symptoms of the more serious form of illness, West Nile neuroinvasive disease, can include those of West Nile fever plus neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness and paralysis. Up to 80 percent of people infected with the virus will have no symptoms.
There are no medications to treat or vaccines to prevent West Nile virus infection. People over 50 years old and those with other health issues are at a higher risk of becoming seriously ill or dying when they become infected with the virus. If people have symptoms and suspect West Nile virus infection, they should contact their healthcare provider.
There are no confirmed human cases of West Nile virus so far this year. Last year, there were 183 reported human cases of West Nile illness in Texas, including 14 deaths. West Nile case counts by county will be posted at www.dshs.state.tx.us/news/updates.shtm.
September 11th will always mark the anniversary of a day that we all promised to "NEVER FORGET"
Join us as police officers and firefighters from across the nation are supported by members of the community, coming together for a day of extreme physical challenge and intense reflection in a truly inspirational setting. Together we will honor those public safety officials who sacrificed their lives on September 11, 2001, as well as our local heroes, and help support those who have survived them.
This years event will benefit the following organizations:
National Fallen Firefighters Foundation
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund
Texas Line of Duty Death Task Force
Concerns of Police Survivors - Metroplex Chapter
Tuesdays Children
Each Climber or team of climbers chooses one organization from above to collect pledges for
This is the 3rd year in a row that Briggs Volunteer Fire Department has participated in this event. This year we have 6 members climbing and will be collecting pledges for the
Texas Line of Duty Death Task Force
The Texas LODD Task Force is a Texas-based 501(c)3 comprised of a group of volunteers that provide excellent, compassionate, immediate and on-going care and support to fire and EMS members who have been injured in the line of duty as well as to the families and departments of those who have died in the line of duty. This assistance, consulting and education is funded through the donations and grants given by private citizens, organizations, and corporations.
History of the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb Event
The first known 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb event occurred on September 11, 2003 during "Operation Enduring Freedom" in Parwan Province, Afghanistan. Albuquerque Fire Department Lieutenant Charles Cogburn scaled a two story building 55 times wearing body armor, a helmet and an M-4. Lt Cogburn returned home and on the following September 11th (2004) the climb was brought back to Albuquerque and given the title Albuquerque Firefighters Memorial Stair Climb. Firefighters from Engine 5 and Engine 2 were dispatched at 8:46am (the time the initial dispatch of FDNY units occured) to the Bank of Albuquerque Building in downtown Albuquerque. The building is 22 stories tall and it was climbed 5 times.
On September 11, 2005, five Colorado firefighters (who had already been climbing stairs together for fitness and camaraderie) gathered in downtown Denver to climb 110 flights of stairs in all their gear in memory of their FDNY brothers who were killed four years earlier.
The following year, organizers of the second Denver 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb changed their venue and attendance grew to twelve participants representing four fire departments from the metro Denver area. As word spread so did interest and the event expanded. In 2007, attendance reached several hundred participants, representing every part of Colorado. The following year, participation was capped at 343, the number of FDNY firefighters who were killed on 9/11. The 2008 event also included a new remembrance component: each climber was assigned a badge, with the name and photograph of one of the fallen firefighters of 9/11, symbolically completing the climb with one who couldn't.
In 2010 founders of the Denver 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb partnered with the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) to set forth the national standard protocol for future 9/11 Memorial Stair Climbs. The very first NFFF climb was the Nashville 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb on September 11, 2010. Event organizers from Denver and Tennessee worked together with the NFFF to hold the first 9/11 Memorial Stair Climbevent at a national fire conference at the 2011 Fire Departments Instructor Conference in Indianapolis, IN.
On September 11, 2011 fifty-five 9/11 Memorial Stair Climbs occurred across the world (at least three were outside the US and held in Paris, London; Auckland, New Zealand; and Sydney, Australia).
On average, thirty climbs occur every year across the country.
For the past three years, Texas has had three climbs

About blogging in general i would like to say that i dont know why people do this , maybe some kinda of way to connect to other people or may just a pass time. i dont really know but i think in Pakistan people have blogging wrong. Instead talking about their personal experiences or their own thoughts they start copy pasting stuff, new articles or simply the sumthing about the fucked up soap opera/realty tv show our political situation has become.
I think thats enough of that intro stuff. I have actually planned this a little you know :P .. because im one of those people who constantly thinks about stuff.. as in i cant stop thinking..seriously.. theres hardly a time im not thinking.. like right now im thinking that what the hell is wrong with me... have i really gone this much crazy that im writing a blog.. Well i think i have... the Reasons for me going crazy well thats a whole new book.. or maybe the 3rd part of a trilogy.. becuase that wont be revealed so quickly...
Well from my experience i think there are very little people in this world that are happy.. I mean everyone has issues.. these issues cannot be weighed or anything because all these are relative like the theory of relativity ;)... yes im a theeta... (i cant believe i said that out loud)... i mean a issue (and yes im currently working as a QA engineer.. only QA ppl can understand ths joke.. its not a bongi :P ) is relative to that person . So a specific weightage of that problem cannot be determined. Because for every person ,other than the person that problem relates to, its weightage is different.... So bottom line is life is pretty much fucked up.. So u just have to do the best u can.. which im trying to do but havent succeeded.
Well i have no clue what im saying and people by now would be cursing me by now but i dont care coz im doing this for myself. If you dont like this you can just close the window or surf some news or facebook check mail.. youtube.. or do some adult stuff :P..
Music is basically a big part of my life right now... i know it shouldnt be but it is... im basically living life on music these days... i literally have a song of the day for each day... i know its lame but i do... FYI i will be uploading links to those songs of the day on my blog.. hopefully.. if i decide to continue with this coz im a moody person... i may not wana do this tomorrow... I have also been called "morose" person too these days... and yes i had to look it up.. (Mein ne SAT nhi diya)... These days im into grunge.. i dont know y.. Suddenly lyrics of a song have really started to matter to me... And i think grunge music has the most meaningful lyrics.. Im looking for songs which relate to my life... Its just a phase trust me.. the music will change... Well that brings us to the song of the day.. :P ....its "Black" by "Pearl Jam".. its from there highly acclaimed and "popular" album "TEN" released in either 1991 or 1992 not sure.. The song is basically cool.. i mean i think its cool... And the way eddie vedder sings it unique to say the least.. so it makes the song really out of the box.. I have to confess one thing here.. it was only today that i really listened to the lyrics of this song..Even though i had listened to it alot before i really didnt concentrate on the lyrics... but today i did and their awesome.. "So a must listen song this is"..
Mostly my blog will have things related to music in it alot..coz im very much influenced by it.. so atleast people who open this page should atleast get some good music.. I think the blog has gone too long so im just gona end abruptly and find out how to upload the song of the day.. :P or maybe im just gona post the youtube link.. :D Youtube zindabad .. :)
PS: the emoticon " :P" is also a obsession.. :P.. Also im by no means a music critic ...

There are several permanent orienteering courses(POCs) in our area. These provide a great opportunity to try out your map-reading skills whilst enjoying a walk in the woods and parks of Gloucestershire and the Forest of Dean. Click here to see where they can be found. In the forest they generally consist of fixed wooden posts with the orienteering flag and a number or letter painted on them. In the town parks the style of control sites may vary; In Central Park, Gloucester, for example, they are to be found about 10-12 feet above ground level, securely attached to a tree or lamp-post, in order to keep them vandal-proof!
The maps for these courses are generally available at the course, usually from an office or warden's hut, or similar facility, which is generally open and manned for much of the day, including weekends, though there have been some problems with availability of maps for the Forest of Dean course. We are working on a solution to this. POC maps typically cost only a £ or two to purchase, and whilst they show all of the control sites they also often suggest courses of varying lengths to help you choose a variety of routes around the POC.

Keysight Technologies with the University of California San Diego have announced the longest bidirectional phased-array link in the 60 GHz band. At a link distance of 300 m, the 32-element array achieved a data rate of greater than 2 Gbps over all scan angles up to ±45 degrees. Data rates were 4 Gbps at 100 m and 500 Mbps at 800 m over most scan angles. The entire phased array consumed 3 to 4 W of DC power in either its transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) modes. This is due to the high-performance system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs UC San Diego created using the third-generation silicon germanium BiCMOS standard buried collector (SiGe BiCMOS SBC18H3) process from TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader.

TowerJazz's management Ringing the Nasdaq Stock Market Opening...
TowerJazz's Leadership Team Ringing the Nasdaq Stock Market Opening Bell - November 16, 2016Posted by TowerJazz on Thursday, November 17, 2016
TowerJazz (Nasdaq: TSEM), the global specialty foundry leader, will visit the Nasdaq MarketSite (on November 16, 2016) in Times Square.
In honor of the occasion, Russell C. Ellwanger, Chief Executive Officer, will ring the Opening Bell.
TowerJazz has developed the nanotechnology to copy the Bible in its entirety into tiny chips. The chips are subsequently mounted to an assortment of jewelry and precious metals like pendants, lockets, watches, and bracelets. Even though it is small, this Jerusalem Nano Bible has every letter and punctuation mark present in the New Testament or Old Hebrew Bible. The content is printed on a silicon chip measuring only 5mm x 5mm. The Jerusalem Nano Bible was the brainchild of the Israeli entrepreneur, Ami Bentov, who partnered with TowerJazz to create the final product.
Israeli specialty foundry TowerJazz announced its novel Empirical ESD Simulation Flow of ESD protection circuits for reliable chip design which supports TowerJazz customers by enabling an optimized solution both in terms of cost and first time success.
TowerJazz's new concept of Empirical ESD Modeling enables dynamic simulation of ESD protection circuits. It is demonstrated on snapback type protection devices which lack simulation models for most manufacturing technologies offered by foundries. The new concept is based on real device measurements as opposed to theoretical calculations, therefore providing more accurate and reliable simulation data for a given technology.
Tailored ESD protection design is especially crucial in applications where I/O customization is required such as in power management and CMOS image sensors.
TowerJazz and TowerJazz Panasonic Semiconductor Co. (TPSCo) announce a new state of the art CIS process based on stacked deep photodiode, allowing customers to achieve very high NIR sensitivity and realize extremely low cross-talk while keeping low dark current characteristics, using small pixels and high resolution.
This solution targets 3D gesture recognition and gesture control for the consumer, security, automotive and industrial sensors markets. NIR is becoming more and more popular in 3D gesture recognition applications and in automotive active vision applications for better visibility in harsh weather conditions.
Pure-play Israeli foundry TowerJazz has signed on to build a line of first-generation microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based loudspeaker semiconductors for Audio Pixels Ltd. The loudspeaker chips will introduce a new generation of sound performance and design demands for devices being built for the consumer electronics, industrial and medical markets, Audio Pixels says.
The company says it chose TowerJazz because of its MEMS manufacturing technology, including its particle-free, deep silicon etch technology and thick films with controlled low stress.
TowerJazz announced it has extended its long term global business partnership with JA Mitsui, a leading financial and banking institution, with whom the company has an established relationship in Japan through its TPSCo Japanese affiliate. The agreement provides the Company with up to $40 million of an asset based loan, which will carry annual interest of Libor+2.0%, mature between 2019 and 2022 and be used to support San Antonio fab growth and ramp-up plans, including cross qualification activities to address the Company's excess customer demand in its other worldwide fabs.
New wireless standard will significantly speed up communication, but dealing with mmWave technology isn't going to be simple.
Generally, phased-array devices are made using various processes, but many of today's devices are based on standard CMOS and silicon-germanium (SiGe). "SiGe technology has already been proven for mmWave phased-array/active antenna applications," said Amol Kalburge, senior director of strategic marketing at TowerJazz, a specialty foundry vendor.
"Additionally, SiGe enables integration with advanced CMOS and on-chip passives, thus providing area efficient system-on-chip integration capability and a cost/performance tradeoff," Kalburge said. "We believe that SiGe will play a key enabling role in 5G front-end ICs, and will coexist with other III-V technologies.
Specialty foundry TowerJazz has announced volume production of a new RF technology capable of integrating a wireless front-end module (FEM) on a single chip, tailored to meet Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
The TowerJazz process enables integration of power amplifiers (PAs), switches, and low-noise amplifiers as well as CMOS digital and power control on a single die. TowerJazz is delivering this product now for smartphones, tablets and wearables, and the technology also meets the more universal requirements of IoT applications by providing cost, power, performance and form-factor benefits versus competing solutions.
As an example, TowerJazz has partnered with Skyworks to deliver a first-of-its-kind integrated wireless FEM using this technology. "We are pleased that our long partnership with TowerJazz on SiGe BiCMOS for PA-based products is now in volume production for key customers of Skyworks," says Bill Vaillancourt, general manager & VP Skyworks Connectivity Solutions.
TowerJazz announced its SiGe Terabit Platform targeting high-speed wireline communications for the terabit age. Wireline data traffic is increasing dramatically, with traffic at Google famously increasing by 50 times over the last six to seven years, or at 75 percent per year. Estimates vary, but experts agree on double digit CAGRs and a 2020 market for high speed optical components in excess of $9 billion.
TowerJazz addresses this market through a family of customized foundry silicon-germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS technologies and is announcing availability of its highest performance process to date: S4. TowerJazz customers include the who's-who for components that carry the world's high-speed data traffic such as: Broadcom, Inphi, MACOM, Maxim, Maxlinear and Semtech, among others.
Chinese chipmaker 3Peak expects a sharp increase in integrated circuit (IC) shipments this year due as it expands its manufacturing output to a plant in Japan through an extension of its collaboration with Israel's TowerJazz. 3Peak's products are currently solely produced at TowerJazz's 200mm fab in Israel and are now starting to also be made at the TowerJazz Panasonic Semiconductor fab in Japan.
"In 2015, 3PEAK's IC shipments increased 35 percent compared with 2014. With dual sourcing capabilities, we expect to have an increase of 200 percent in 2016," Joe Zhou, Chief Executive of 3Peak, said in a statement on Wednesday.
TowerJazz announced it has completed its acquisition of an 8-inch wafer fabrication facility in San Antonio, Texas from Maxim Integrated. The acquisition will expand TowerJazz's current worldwide manufacturing capacity, cost-effectively increasing production by approximately 28,000 wafers per month. The availability of capacity is needed to serve current and forecasted customer demand.
TowerJazz offers a broad range of customizable process technologies including SiGe BiCMOS and RF CMOS for RF and HPA applications. For many years it has been Maxim's supplier for a family of high-end SiGe based products.
As part of the transaction, the firms signed a 15-year supply agreement under which TowerJazz will manufacture products for Maxim in the San Antonio facility.
TowerJazz, TowerJazz Panasonic Semiconductor Co. (TPSCo), and PIXELPLUS announced they have collaborated to produce a state-of-the-art HD and FHD (full HD) SoC security sensor using TPSCo's leading 65nm CIS process.
PIXELPLUS integrates ISP and HD-Analog transmission function onto a CMOS sensor, said to be the first time in the world. The HD-transmission function enables data transmission over coaxial cables to distances longer than 500 meters. PIXELPLUS is said to hold number one position worldwide in the security/surveillance market, which includes 34% market share in 2014 by dominating VGA.
"Through our collaboration with TPSCo, we were able to produce an HD and FHD SoC security sensor with unprecedented performance," said Seo-Kyu Lee, CEO, PIXELPLUS.
TowerJazz announced the signing of a definitive agreement with Semiconductor Laboratory, an Asian Governmental Agency. Under the agreement, TowerJazz will leverage its manufacturing expertise and assets while providing during the coming three years the required process engineering and equipment maintenance support for successful operation of the facility. In addition, TowerJazz will provide support to help establish wafer reclaim capabilities and will provide training and procedures on the establishment of chemical lab capabilities.
The deal will generate revenues of approximately $35 million, which are incremental to TowerJazz's revenues from its existing manufacturing facilities. This agreement allows TowerJazz to realize profits and cash generation from its valuable manufacturing expertise and its skilled engineering manpower.
TowerJazz and TPSCo announced the development of the first 65nm millimeter wave (mmWave) 110GHz RFCMOS platform targeted for a variety of applications, such as wireless communication (60~77GHz), automotive radar (57~86, mostly 77GHz), and imaging and scanning (100GHz), among others.
TowerJazz and TPSCo are expanding their mmWave platform capabilities by introducing new process modules and comprehensive validated EDA tools and modeling, targeted to support a larger application segment. The platform supports 110GHz with state of the art RF modeling for MOSFETs, inductors and transmission lines, a very large set of metal combination and a full set of RFCMOS elements. RF applications such as WiFi 802.11, Wireless HDMI, and WiGi that require 65nm mmWave technology can now utilize modeling capabilities up to 110GHz. In addition, this platform is automotive qualified at TPSCo's 300mm fab in Uozu, Japan, considered one of the best fabs in the automotive industry.
TowerJazz and TPSCo announced breakthrough in RF technology for next-generation 4G LTE smartphones and IoT devices. Through a collaborative effort, TowerJazz and its subsidiary TPSCo, have developed a new 300mm RF SOI process that can reduce losses in an RF switch by as much as 30% relative to current technology, improving battery life and boosting data rates. The technology is now being sampled to a lead customer.
"This achievement reflects our strategy to combine TPSCo's digital technology with TowerJazz's RF expertise," said Russell Ellwanger, TowerJazz CEO. Guy Eristoff, CEO of TPSCo, said: "This process combines 0.18um TowerJazz RF SOI technology with TPSCo's advanced 45nm process capabilities to create a silicon-based device with breakthrough performance. To our knowledge, this is the lowest Ron X Coff demonstrated in RF SOI devices with robust power handling capability."

Too Faced La Creme Lipstick in Spice Spice Baby (International Series)
Big YAY for lipstick reviews! As I mentioned before in a previous post I am in love with the Too Faced brand at the moment. When I was at Sephora back in February, I just had to buy me a lipstick to add to my growing collection too. I chose the shade Spice Spice Baby as I thought it would match my honey skin tone perfectly. The lipstick comes in a bright gold tube which feels a little heavier in my hand compared to most lipstick packaging. I love the beautiful classic vintage look the lipstick exudes. The packaging is timeless and gorgeous. On the box the lipstick is described as a colour drenched lip cream with conditioning properties such as moisture rich lotus flower and power peptides. It claims to give intense rich colour while keeping your lips conditioned and soft throughout the day. Most lipsticks do tend to dry out my lips so I was very excited to use a formula that would moisturise my lips and give beautiful colour.
Thank you so much for reading.
Lots of divalicious kisses.

The Jewish Christian Muslim Association of Australia Women's Committee held a weekend Conference for women only on the 12th – 14th of May. Here is a brief recap:
The 'Inspiring Women of Faith' conference is for women who identify as Jewish, Christian or Muslim. We shared in prayer, joint scripture study and hearing about life experiences of others that inspire us.
As a group of women from Judaism, Christianity and Islam we represented the variety and depth within each faith tradition. Over the conference we were able to observe each other's prayer rituals lead by members of each of the religious groups. It was carefully planned to fit into the times of traditional weekly/daily routines and in sharing and experiencing each other's holy days of Friday, Saturday and Sunday we got to learn about each other's practices and encounter deeply held beliefs.

Seasonal Celebrations Explained – Christmas, Chanukah & Muharram
On Sunday 4th of December 2016 the Jewish Christian Muslim Association of Australia (JCMA) women's committee hosted an event, at the Islamic Council of Victoria, with talks on seasonal celebrations of the three Abrahamic faiths. It was a well-attended event with an audience of over 35 women. An opportunity to make new friends and learn from each other over shared food for the festive season.
The first speaker was Nomi Kaltman who spoke on the Jewish Festival of Lights, Chanukah and its background, history and traditions. These traditions range from lighting the Menorah to eating foods fried or baked in oil to commemorate the miracle of keeping the Second Temple's Menorah alight for eight days.
Nomi was followed by Irene Donohue Clyne who spoke on the Christmas celebrations and the influence of cultural symbols associated with it. Irene also emphasised on the spirit of Christmas which celebrates the birth of Prophet Jesus pbuh (peace be upon him) and an integral part of Christmas is the gathering of family and friends.
The final speaker was the chair of JCMA Women's committee Ayesha Bux who spoke about the importance of reflecting on the deeper meaning in the Abrahamic traditions. She called Muharram the month of inspiration rather than celebration. The 10th of Muharram being significant to all Prophets starting from Prophet Adam pbuh as it was the day God showed him compassion, Prophet Noah pbuh's ark landed, Exodus of Prophet Moses pbuh took place, Prophet Jesus pbuh was born right till the martyrdom of Imam Hussain as the grandson of Prophet Muhammad pbuh who protested against injustice in a non-violent way. This shaped the world by inspiring leaders like Gandhi who said "I learned from Hussain how to be wronged and be a winner, I learnt from Hussain how to attain victory while being oppressed"

Hello 2012.
How many resolutions will I make that go by the wayside? Not many, as resolutions have never been my thing. Its like always starting in the hole. I have enough angst going on in my world. I always start out hoping that the year will be different. Call it the glass half empty person I am, but I don't remember every saying, I want more of the year just past, it was so danged good. Nope, I tended to think that even with wonderful, momentous events occurring in my years, there was so much more ahead in the new year that would be better. Somewhere along the line, the time before and directly after Christmas lost some of its cheer and I just wanted to go back to my routine, whatever that was, hunker down and endure the winter until spring would come and I could get outside and feel the sun on my face again. Somewhere along the line, the summer and long days of light represented all that was good, and winter and dark days all that I wanted to avoid in life.
But things have a way of changing and morphing into unanticipated happenings. My life seemed to be destined to follow a pretty straight line and while I didn't think excessively about my later years....OK, I didn't think about them at all, I just assumed that at the appropriate time I would have grand children, my children would live within shouting distance and that I would just turn into a reasonable facsimile of my wonderful grandma. I would bake cookies with grandchildren, take them on walks around the farm and to the Children's Zoo in Saginaw. I would have all the patience I never had with my own kids, and couldn't wait to rock babies to sleep. I would volunteer in all sorts of worthwhile organizations and quilt and bake bread, and learn one new thing every year to make me a well rounded older citizen. None of those things happened. I have two children who live more than a hollar away. I thought I would be the last woman in Michigan to get grandchildren, then I got two in one summer. Not sure if the patience thing will work out any better than it did for their parents, and the quilting thing is kind of haphazard. I would honestly like to do more but find excuses to not, do it that is. I do bake bread, but then try not to eat it all myself. And the volunteering thing seems to be on a "dragged kicking and screaming" all the way kind of deal or one that someone tricks me into. I have invariably, enjoyed every volunteering job I have done and know that more would only be good for me, but it seems I can find more ways not to than incentive to go for it. Maybe that should be a resolution for this year.
This year will be different, I can feel it in my bones and my heart. A new beginning is truly in the air this year, and I hope I am mature enough to realize time will not always be there and there isn't always a tomorrow. My Facebook friends have shared many words of wisdom this year, and many I have reshared. But in the end its the revelations I've received that lead me to know, I can start afresh every day if I so choose. Perhaps all can be revealed in days, in a compact set of weeks, but it won't make the new me I have experienced any more clear. On the outside, I am the same, only older, and now have age lines and grayer hair beneath the honeyed blond.. On the inside I have wisdom I didn't a year ago. Time marches on and its up to me to know "all will be well". Its up to me to be still and listen for it and then take the ball and run with it. To take those leaps of faith when they are presented and to know all is relevant. All that stands behind me and all that is before me....
The first day of 2012 in Hemlock, Michigan was gray for the most part and mild at 45 degrees at 10 a.m. Rain showers passed through but then we received a brief hour of sunshine. We walked the dogs in that sunshine and felt the promise of the New Year. It didn't last but the rainbows seldom do. We have to reach for them and grasp them for they won't be with us for long. Before the election year phone calls and endless commercials make me want to live in a cave, before the winter winds wear me down, and before the grind of living and seeing those I love pass from me, I will rejoice in that hour of sunshine and look to the promise of that rainbow, no matter how swiftly it leaves me.
May the good Lord bless you all in the year to come.

Mexico has recently stepped-up enforcement of its phytosanitary regulations, which has caused much confusion. According to APHIS, the following interim measures have been agreed upon between the USDA APHIS and the SEMARNAT (Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources) until a Work Plan is signed.
- Lumber shipments travelling under SEMARNAT import permits, issued prior to July 2, 2013 will be allowed entry based on current regulations, regardless of arrival date.
- Lumber shipments travelling under SEMARNAT import permits, issued after July 2, 2013 will be required to meet the new NOM 16" regulations.
- A phytosanitary certificate will be required.
- The treatment will be documented in the treatment section, and
- The additional declaration, "The lumber of this consignment has no bark, it has been subjected to phytosanitary treatment, and is free of quarantine pests within accordance to NOM 16", will be added.
Industry certificates will be accepted by ACOs for proof of treatment so phytosanitary certificates may be issued and "no bark" will require a shipment to possess no more than 2% bark for approval.
U.S exporters can keep track of any updates on the issues through the Mexico page of the USDA "Phytosanitary Export Database" (PExD) which can be accessed through the "Phytosnitary Certificate Issuing and Tracking System" (PCIT) on the USDA website.
The American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) is working with the Mexican Forest Products Import/Export Association (IMEXFOR) to clarify the situation. AHEC is also engaging importers and furniture manufacturers in Mexico to be sure they understand what strict interpretation of this regulation will do to their supplies and costs; with an urge to make their concerns known to the Mexican government.
For further information please contact John Tyrone Jones, II, Trade Director Forestry Products (USDA; APHIS; PPQ; PIM) at 301-851-2344 or Mike Snow Executive Director AHEC at 703-435-2900ext 114.

We Kicked Cancer's Butt!
Sorry I've been a bit absent from the blogging world all week, i went to see the 1975 at Alexandra Palace on Tuesday & have had the worst case of food poisoning ever. I mean, 6 days later i still feel like my stomach is trying to hurt me.. However with a few tears and almost backing out due to being so ill.. Yesterday me & two friends ran the 'Pretty Muddy 5k' on Clapham Common! We have been fundraising for ages and had even had a bake sale last Sunday, so i decided to man up and get stuck in! So far we have managed to raise £360.00 absolutley smashing our target of £200.00 and feel so grateful to all our lovely friends and family that have supported us. I know its not a marathon but it's my first race.. I'm an awful runner & it was a massive challenge (expecially being ill)! It was a really great event and much more fun than just a running 5k! I just wanted to share a few snaps from the day!

2. Harry's running an English Folk Dance Workshop on Sunday 18 March, 11am-2pm.
3. They're going on tour at the end of the month!
